Elite track stars to hit the streets of Tembisa

Some of the country’s top middle-distance track runners will turn to the road on Sunday, as they prepare to battle for the elite titles at the fifth annual Tembisa Street Mile.

In the absence of defending champion Dumisane Hlaselo, the men’s 1.609km race will be contested by a strong field including 1 500m specialists Folavio Sehohle and Jerry Motsau, as well as Rynardt van Rensburg and Jacob Rozani, who both competed over 800m at the Rio Olympics in August.
